Christine Baumgartner filed new legal docs in which she asks a judge to force KC to shell out $248,000/month in child support for their three kids. She claims that an eye-popping amount is the only way Christine and the children can "live at a standard somewhat approaching the standard that the children will be enjoying while in Kevin's care." BTW, she says that doesn't include private school tuition, health care and sports-related expenses, which she also wants him to pay.

Costner has filed legal docs saying he's willing to kick in an additional $38k per month.

Their family expenses, she claims, were $6.6 million. Kevin clearly thinks the money has nothing to do with child support. BTW, it sounds like they live large ... CC lists regular trips to places like Hawaii, Aspen and the Caribbean -- where she says they often hire caterers and chefs to entertain their guests. The upkeep of their many properties ain't cheap either ... about $2 mil/year ... says Christine.
